Needless to say, many things have changed in the last month! Sometime at the
start of March, I saw an ad on comp.os.os2.programming.misc for an
OS/2 C++ programming position at IMI Inc., located in Palm Beach Gardens,
Florida. There was no longer any work for me at the Hongkong Bank of Canada,
so I gave the my 2 week notice, obtained the necessary NAFTA papers to work in
the U.S., and thus here I am!

I need not try to explain that it was somewhat of a culture shock to suddenly
find myself in Florida! As you can see, I went from winter camping, snow
shelters and the constant Vancouver winter rain to warm beaches, shorts, and
T-shirts!

I'd arrived the previous afternoon, and this was my very first morning
in Florida. At 4am, unable to sleep any longer, I made my way to the
beach at Singer Island, where I waited for the sunrise.

Taking advantage of the good weather, I decided to get myself a new
motorcycle. I hadn't ridden one since I sold the GPZ-305 back in the
spring of 1993, but it didn't take long to get the feeling back!

This image was taken in the parking lot outside my appartment, while the
previous image was taken inside the courtyard.

Here is the entrance to the complex. The town of Jupiter, where I live,
is 9 miles North of where I work in Palm Beach Gardens, so it does not
take me long to get to work in the morning.

A popular housing environment is called a "quad", in which a series of 4
townhomes are attached together in a cross-shape instead of in a linear
fashion. The window on the far right is the kitchen.

Inside the courtyard, you can see the den on the left, the dining room
& kitchen through the second set of patio doors on the right, the
master bedroom upstairs on the left, and the spare bedroom upstairs on
the right.

This is the appartment; the den, the dinning room & kitchen, and the
master bedroom upstairs. Each bedroom has a bathroom, plus an additional
small bathroom downstairs next to the stairs. (You can't see it in these
pictures.)
